“Overall, this book provides a fulfilling overview of the physiology knowledge required for veterinary students during their time at university and in their future career. I like the fact that it is easy to use and feel that the self-evaluation sections will be particularly welcome for veterinary students.” (Veterinary Record, 1 December 2015)
